Historian Jim Bendat talks about past wartime inaugurations, as well as the unique inauguration of Calvin Coolidge, during an interview with MSNBC's Alison Stewart on January 16, 2005. Bendat's newest book, Democracy's Big Day: The Inauguration of our President 1789-2009, was released in early 2008. The book's website is: http://www.inaugurationbook.com
I never knew that about Calvin Coolidge. What a marvelous story.
